19K ballots thrown out is nuts--what did the imbecile workers at the polls do, say, just punch both it's okay? Who would say that? Or 19K people punched both and thought, "It's okay--they'll figure out which one I really want"? It doesn't make any sense. Does it? This is the one fact I find MOST bizarre. Only in one place this happened? The only thing I can imagine is total foul play where people voted properly and somebody double punched 19K ballots in order to throw them out. Question was were they Gore or Bush ballots? How do we know they were double punched anyway--did they save the ballots they threw out?

Am I missing something?

I can see it might go the way you're suggesting, but I think that one or the other will concede tonight, with a strong enough speech that all we'll be left with are a few scattered lawsuits in Florida which the media will hype for a bit and then become disinterested in.
